Five-Minute Activities for Young Learners is full of short, topical, low-resource ideas for teachers of English to
children. Activities are organised around six themes:
These themes reflect the content covered in young learner English exams (for example the Cambridge Young
Learner English Tests) and the curriculum in most primary classrooms.
Each theme contains activities at three levels of difficulty: one star (*) represents the lowest level of difficulty, while
three stars (***) represent the most challenging tasks. Teachers can use the activities to meet a specific learning
objective, to reinforce a teaching point or simply to fill a gap in the lesson.
